You can’t win them all. However Yankee baseball fans don’t agree with that statement.

Levack — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 12:25:16 +0000

So the Cliff Lee sweepstakes are over and he is not a Yankee. The longer that huge offer from the Yankees sat on the table the more I had a feeling he wasn’t ready to wear pinstripes. Simple facts are Cliff Lee is a good bordering on great pitcher but he is also getting older [...]
